Find Your Favourite Silk Eye Mask →Sleep mask marks usually appear where a band, seam or folded edge presses against the face. A tight strap, a pillow pushing the mask sideways or a bunched-up band can concentrate that pressure. Start by adjusting the fit rather than assuming you need a thicker mask.
A smooth mulberry silk eye mask can feel gentle against the skin, but the way it sits matters just as much as the fabric. Here is how to make the fit more relaxed and comfortable.
Use the Position of the Mark as a Clue
| Mark or sensation | Likely fit issue to check | First adjustment |
|---|---|---|
| Line at the temples | Band tension or rolled elastic | Smooth the band and reduce tension |
| Pressure on one cheek | Mask edge pushed by the pillow | Reposition the edge while lying on your side |
| Indent near a buckle | Hardware on the pillow contact point | Move the fastening away from that spot |
| Line around the nose | Front sitting too high or pulled tightly | Re-centre the lower edge before tightening |
Reset the Fit Before Bed
Put the mask on with the band relaxed. Close your eyes and settle the front around the nose and cheeks. Tighten only enough to hold it in place, then lie on your normal side. Smooth any fabric folds and check that the band is not twisted.
If loosening makes the mask fall off, the problem may be the profile or worn elastic rather than a need for more tension. Our guide to masks that fall off helps separate those causes.
Compare Fastening Styles
Fine-tune the elastic strap for a comfortable fit. Position the adjustment hardware away from where your head rests on the pillow.

Explore SB31 →SB29 has adjustable elastic, giving you control over tension, with hardware that needs comfortable positioning. SB30 has a silk-covered elastic band without an adjustment buckle; it is a simple choice when the fixed elastic fit suits you. SB31 offers a broad wraparound band and hook-and-loop closure.
Choose the feature that addresses your discomfort. A wider band spreads contact differently, but may also feel more substantial against a pillow. A smaller classic mask may feel less bulky, but its elastic still needs to fit.
Keep the Surface Smooth and Fresh
Wash away accumulated skincare or oils and rinse thoroughly. Let the mask dry in its intended shape so edges are not creased or folded. A clean, dry mask is more pleasant to wear and easier to adjust. See our silk eye mask washing guide.
If a mark comes with ongoing soreness, swelling or irritation, stop using the mask and seek advice if it persists. For everyday pressure lines, begin with the simple fit changes above rather than adding more padding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will silk prevent all marks?
No fabric eliminates pressure from an overly tight or poorly positioned mask. A smooth surface and a relaxed fit work together.
Should I choose adjustable elastic?
It is useful if you want control over tension. Check that its hardware sits away from the pillow pressure point.
Can my pillow cause the marks?
It can push the mask edge or closure into the face. Try the fit lying down and adjust the band or pillow contact point.
